Description & Review
The ClearVue 550 is the new mid-range shared service ultrasound machine from Philips meant to surpass the HD7 & HD9. It is tiny, with an even more refined user interface and hardware that is far easier to service and maintain. The 550 adds an articulating arm for the monitor, SonoCT, Panoramic and Hi-Q Doppler to the more entry level ClearVue 350.
